Dog Boarding in West Dorset

“Allana was so lovely, I booked the day before as I was camping in the blistering heat and my poor boy couldn’t deal with it, me and my Daughter also wanted to go for a swim and felt bad putting on family. Teddy went to Allana from 9.30-5pm and he was very comfortable, Allana updated me throughout the day and when we go camping again next year, I will be rest assured I have Allana (I hope) to help take the load. Thank you for helping such short notice, highly recommend. Xx”

“Barbara has been the best sitter we have ever found. Our very nervous boy who also has separation anxiety absolutely adores her. Barney is afraid of new people and other dogs but he has settled with Barbara like nobody else. Barbara has given him all the time and love he needed and looked after him so well he didn't want to leave and I'm sure he misses her. I cannot recommend Barbara highly enough”

About: I have 10 years experience caring for dogs, including my own dogs, and dogs of family members and friends. I have my own dog, Larry, who I absolutely adore. He will stay with my husband whilst I dog sit in other homes. I work full time as a speech therapist, however, much of my work is done from home. Aside from dog sitting, I am available for evenings for dog sitting and walking. My husband Will works from our home, and also has a rover account. He is available to take bookings during week days and also weekends. We have a secure fenced back garden for rest breaks. We are very lucky to live near many open fields for long dog walks, but can also accommodate for older or less mobile dogs.

“Claire is absolute earth angel 😇 Ralph had amazing care and attention every minute he was with Claire. Planning to take him there again 💯 recommend this lovely lady”

“Keith and Michelle were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Maya. They are kind, caring, and clearly love what they do. Maya enjoyed plenty of long walks and came home happy and relaxed. I couldn’t ask for better people to look after her — highly recommended!”

“Kirsty and her family treated Albus as if he were their own. He was spoilt with plenty of cuddles and love and even came home with a brand new ball which he hasnt put down yet! They put my mind at rest leaving Albus. I would definately recommend them to anyone and would be more than happy to book Albus woth them again! It was lovely seeing Albus so settled! X”

“Elissia took great care of Bennie: this is the second time she has looked after him and he always seems very happy and relaxed ☺️ Will definitely book Elissia again. I feel totally relaxed leaving Bennie with her for a weekend”

“Teddy is a very affectionate and friendly Golden Retriever who loves human company and Joe was absolutely brilliant with him. We have never left Teddy with a sitter for more than a day before, and we needed to leave him for 2 weeks. Teddy seemed to have loved his time with Joe. He came back very happy and content. Joe kept us informed about Teddy and sent us regular updates, and looked after him so well. I would, without hesitation, recommend Joe as a sitter, especially if you have a dog who needs a calm environment and lots of affection.”

“Sarah is brilliant, she went above and beyond to make Indie feel welcomed and relaxed whilst she took care of her during the day and overnight in her home. Sarah was very attentive of Indie and sent lots of updates, which was very reassuring to see her playing and happy. Thanks so much!”

“Buckie was really well cared for, came home relaxed and happy. Lovely updates while he was away and a beautiful card with a picture of him when we collected him. 5 star treatment! 😊❤️👍”

“Donna was excellent and I would definitely trust her to look after my dog again. I really appreciated the updates and photos as it helped put my mind at ease. Thank you for everything!”

“Addie was lovely and I would highly recommend her. Sadly my 10 month old Springer was quite a handful and Very hyperactive and certainly not on his best behaviour. Also Addie did not have the space that Otis is used to and I feel this exacerbated his stress levels and caused him to have accidents which does not happen at home. Addie has already let me know she would not look after Otis again and I totally understand this. I would still highly recommend Addie as her communication and experience were so good and I know she worked hard on making Otis enjoy his stay. Finally once again I would highly recommend Addie but not for my Springer. Back to training class for us I think. Thank you Addie for all you did, you were amazing xx”

“Arwen had a wonderful time with Sofia and I would highly recommend her. When I arrived to take Arwen home she came to greet me but then went back to her bed and didn’t want to come home. And that was after one night so she obviously felt completely at home.”

“Macy was absolutely fantastic with our french bulldog, Bella, while we were away on holiday for six nights. From the moment Bella stayed with her, it was clear how much love, care and attention Macy puts into looking after dogs, and we were so grateful for how warmly she welcomed Bella into her day-to-day family life rather than just “watching” her. She spent time playing with Bella, made sure she felt included and comfortable, and it was obvious that Bella was being treated like one of the family. We also really appreciated the daily updates, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away and showed just how happy and settled Bella was. Macy is kind, caring, thoughtful and clearly loves dogs, and we would not hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for a genuinely wonderful dog sitter. Thank you Macy for doing such a good job x”
